General colouration usually plain bright apple-green, the ventral body surface mid green and with a whitish wash on abdominal sternites II–VII, more rarely with a black wash; occasionally olive or slightly brownish green specimens occur. Transverse borders between the abdominal tergites yellow to orange. Spines of the marginal expansion of the meso- and metapleurae dull pink to purple (bluish green in young specimens). Dorsal spines of the thorax with the bases yellow and tips orange. Antennae orange to reddish brown; scapus green. Tegmina and alae bright green. Tarsi yellowish or greenish pale to mid brown.

Newly hatched nymphs are rather robust and have a body length of ±20.0 mm. The colouration is mid green, the body dorsally marbled with some brown and the pronotum with a brown longitudinal median stripe. Coxae, protibiae and antennae brown. Later instars vary from pale green over straw to dark brown and sometimes specimens may possess bold whitish markings on the thorax and abdomen. The sexes can be distinguishes from 3rd instar onwards, but both have abdominal tergum VII with a rounded lateral lobe throughout their entire development which only disappears with the final ecdysis.

) as alternative food plants. Adults are fairly robust and long-lived insects, ♀♀ reaching ages of up to one year. Mating is frequent but mainly takes place during the night. On average ♀♀ lay two eggs per day, which are simply flicked away by a rapid movement of the abdomen. The strong and ventrally spinose hind-legs of ♀♀ are frequently used for active defense, whereas ♂♂ flash their large orange wings. This species has been included on the Phasmid Study Group (PSG) culture-list as culture No. 260.
